Radio installation

Before installing your radio into your model, connect the receiver, servos, and switch

harness/battery pack as shown. In addition to checking for proper operation, this "bench test" helps

you become familiar with the operation of your radio. Begin by turning on the transmitter, and then

turn on the receiver switch. Make sure that all servos and trims levers are operating, and take a few

moments to "play" with your system. After completion of your bench testing, turn off the receiver,

followed by the transmitter.

CAUTION

To prevent loss of radio range do not kink or

cut the gray wire, do not bend or cut the

metal tip, and do not bend or cut the white

wire at the end of the metal tip.

HELPFUL HINT

1. The two antennas must be

kept as straight as possible.

Otherwise it will reduce the

effective range.

2. The two antennas should be

placed at 90 degrees to each

other.

Functions

The Commander transmitter was specifically-designed to operate air models. Basic functions for

this transmitter are listed below.

NOTE

Binding process may take 2~4 seconds to execute. If binding fails, the LED light on the receiver will

turn red. Please turn off power and repeat the above steps from a) ~ e).

1. Power On

a) Turn On/Off

After installing the transmitter batteries, turn on the

transmitter power by sliding up the switch located on

the front middle position of the transmitter. The LED

light turns “GREEN”. To turn off the power, slide down

the switch, the LED indicator light will turn off.

b) Low Battery Power Warning

If the transmitter battery power is too low, a “Bi--Bi--”

warning tone will be emitted and the LED indicator will

flash “GREEN”. It’s very dangerous to fly the model

with low battery transmitter. Please change the

batteries immediately.

2. Binding process

A binding feature is included in the Commander 2.4 GHz

spread spectrum system to ensure the transmitter and

receiver bind properly and prevent interference from

other controllers. To bind Tx/Rx, please proceed as per

the following:

a) Press and hold “Binding SW” button located on the

transmitter.

b) Simultaneously, turn on the power.

c) Release the “Binding SW” button. The binding LED

will blink Green / Red, indicating the transmitter is

binding.

d) Press and hold the BINDING push button on the

Receiver, plug the battery power connector on the

receiver to turn power on. Then release the

BINDING button.

Press & hold Binding switch

e) Successful binding is confirmed by the binding LED

changing from Green / Red to a Green flash on the

transmitter. The LED will turn green on the receiver. Upon confirmation, turn off power of

the receiver and transmitter and launch normal start-up procedures.

3. Range-Check

A built-in range-check function on the transmitter reduces signal strength for pre-flight range-

check. When this function is activated, signal strength is weak. Use the weak signal strength for

pre-flight range-check to confirm operation of wireless radio control system is normal. It is

recommended to perform a complete range-check before every flight.

NOTE

Never push the “Binding SW” button during flight. Flying under weak signal strength will result in signal

loss and model crash.

Range-Checking” procedure:

a) Turn both transmitter and model power on and ensure the system is functioning properly.

b) Take the transmitter to a distance of about 20~30m from the model.

c) Press and hold the “Binding SW” button. Signal strength is now weak. The transmitter buzzer

will signal with a “Bi - - Bi” warning tone. Please do not release “Binding SW” at this stage.

d) Operate both left and right sticks to drive movement on the servos.Visually confirm that all

movements are accurate and signal is interference-free.

e) Release “Binding SW” button. Signal reverses back to full strength and warning tone stops.

And the warning tone also will stop in the same time.

f) Model is ready to fly.
